• Chewie's been Carnagized, and Carol ain't happy about it!
• It's Earth's Mightiest Hero against a symbiotic space cat - what more could you need?!
Rated T+
Highly recommended, great art, great storytelling, not essential reading for the main event but if you're going to pick up any of the tie-ins, I would put this one at the top of the pile. Read Full Review
Overall, Absolute Carnage: Captain Marvel #1 is an average tie-in comic. The story is okay. The art is average at best. For every fun Bad kitty bit of dialogue, theres an off-putting FOMO. If youre collecting everything Absolute Carnage, go ahead and pick it up. For the rest looking for absolute must tie-ins, save your five bucks. Read Full Review
While there are some charming parts at the beginning and end of the issue, there's just not enough here to make this a must-buy, though there is some fun to be had if you're willing to overlook some flaws. Read Full Review
I enjoy it. but it's not a must read.
This was a fine tie-in, but definitely not necessary.
Boring
Captain Marvel makes some cute wisecracks while battling Carnage for the soul of her cat. I like much of the humor, but watching a hero win an utterly generic "pluck plus random zappy powers" victory isn't satisfying. Also, while individual panels of the art were great, the different inking approaches clashed hard.
Eh this was pretty inconsequential. The cat is cute I guess, plus .5 for the cat.
Prelude:
Another tie-in to Absolute Carnage on the week it ends. Great.
The Good:
Let's cut to the chase and say nothing.
The Bad:
There is no point to this story.
It's boring.
Conclusion:
As you would expect, it's a boring issue that contributes nothing to the event whatsoever.
